My Favorite TX Band Openers of 2023

[@chase_rowell]

I really like vista's, it kind-of sounds like a slightly marching band-ified version of a concert band piece, and the loud notes with the fast articulation and dramatic dynamics can serve as a "look at what we can do" for the judges. The opener also fits with the theme very well. It both sounds and looks like the theme.

I remember our band was taking our picture while Anna was performing! I wish I could've watched their show in the audience.

[@who-would-know]

hebron at 8 is a wild statement

[@Jus_AceBat]

Their ballad is much better than their opener on my opinion

[@who-would-know]

@@Jus_AceBat i agree but the opener is still pretty good, he should do a best ballads compilation too if he gets the chance

[@Jus_AceBat]

@@who-would-knowyou’re right, but I feel their opener isn’t as strong as odyssey and penstriped and could’ve been better

[@therealnocommonsense]

@@who-would-know I plan on doing so eventually

[@TreyStraw]

No panther creek 😢

[@katana2140]

Where would you put other top bands like Avon, Carmel, Tarpon, etc on the list?

[@zanecolins1534]

[@Marduk-np5gq]

[@Scxrpionz]

12:02 blue devils?

[@therealnocommonsense]

@@ScxrpionzThat' just a common stress and release chord resolve, I don't think that part was inspired by bd. This show was performed a year before the romantics.

[@Scxrpionz]

@@therealnocommonsense yea ik lol just being sarcastic cuz they're the exact same chords and voicings

[@mapscoguy]

no rockwall highschool?

[@theweirdweeb567]

Why have people started giving love to the 4as?? I'm just curious

[@criscubes]

I've seen many 4a's compete with 5a programs so they are definitely worth giving attention to

[@donahuefilms1895]

Yo, where's Round Rock? They had a really nice opener
